Play: Total: 8.5/-115 Under
Take #906 Cardinals vs Reds Under We like the Under in this matchup, with Chase Burns and Matthew Liberatore both giving us reasons to expect a lower-scoring game. Burns has been one of Cincinnati's biggest bright spots, entering at 14-2 with a 2.47 ERA and 151 strikeouts. He is coming off seven shutout innings against Miami, allowing only four hits while striking out eight. Liberatore has struggled overall with a 5.07 ERA, but we expect the left-hander to bounce back after dropping his last two starts. He previously tossed six scoreless innings against Toronto on August 2, showing he still has the ability to keep an offense quiet. The Under also gets some help from the recent series results. St. Louis shut out Cincinnati 3-0 on Tuesday, and the Cardinals have now taken a 2-1 lead in the series. The current total is 8.5 runs, giving us a reasonable number to work with. Burns should continue doing what he's done all season, and we're expecting Liberatore to settle in and give the Cardinals a quality outing.
